Paul, as usual, had some good one-liners. When DeMint asked him what federal programs he thought should be eliminated, Paul answered, “I’d rather you give me the list of things we should keep. That’d be a short list.”

Paul said, other than sound money, a judicial system, and providing defense, he believed there’s “not a heck of a lot else” the federal government should do. “We weren’t supposed to have 100,000 federal bureaucrats who carry guns,” he said, “People are supposed to carry the guns, not the bureaucrats.”
